To adjust sliding table parallel with main
blade:
1. Raise main blade as high as it will go and
adjust tilt angle to 0° (verify with square).
2. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
3. Mark one blade tooth with felt tip pen. This
will be your reference point when taking mea-
surements in following steps.
4. Move sliding table all the way forward, and
measure distance “A” shown in
Figure 188,
which is between marked blade tooth and
edge of sliding table miter slot.

5. Rotate blade 180°, move sliding table all the
way back, then measure distance “B” shown
in
Figure 188.
— If “A” and “B” measurements are same or
difference is 0.004" or less, no adjustments
to table parallelism need be made.
— If difference is greater than 0.004", then
sliding table parallelism must be adjusted.
Proceed to
Step 6.
6. Loosen (5) hex bolts under sliding table to
allow sliding table to move in next step (refer
to
Figures 20–24 on Pages 28–29 for hex
bolt locations).
7. Adjust adjustment bolts underneath each end
of sliding table (see
Figure 189) to make slid-
ing table parallel with main blade.
8. Once sliding table parallelism is within 0.004"
from one end to the other, retighten hex bolts
and re-install access panels.
